Writing Locales

Do you have a dedicated space to write? I have a desk with my computer. I can listen to music and even open the shades a bit so I get some nice rays of sun while I work. But I don't always work from my desk. I like to do my brainstorming, outlining, and planing away from the distractions offered by my computer. There are plenty of other places to do writing work or even actual writing. The thing to think of is "What works for you?" Or rather, "Where works for you?"
